Eldritch Engine - Repton

A rambunctious but playful creature than loves apples and pears.

[assortedvillainvault]

I'd like to ask back, but I forget who your f/os are

Lol that's fair, a good chunck of my 'will write' list are actually my F/O's but I realise I didn't put any indication as to who was who. I don't think I had the confidence to actually announce that when I started this blog.

Anyhoo I'm in a mood for scales, so I hereby select Repton and Sir Pentious for the games! Oh God this got long

Repton:

R - Rainbow - what colors do you associate with them and why?

It's always deep olive greens and harsh dusty yellows for Repton, his colour scheme is pretty consistent and pretty much matches his territory. I find it very soothing almost? Like watching a savanna landscape, which is technically where he lives so, win.

E - Emotion - is your f/o open with their feelings or do they keep them close to their chest?

If it ain't rage or exasperation then he ain't showing it. He absolutely feels a wider range but frustration at his limitations rules his judgement 99% of the time, which is a work in progress. Makes those rare time's he is openly happy that much more delightful!

P - Pets - do they have a pet? if so, what kind and what is/would be its name? would you have a pet together?

Canonly, no, but I've always figured the wastelands around his terra would hold some kind of cool monster that he would take delight in taming, so in my head he has pet dragons. Not big ones, but if Gwythents were more bat like that'd be ideal. Atmos is criminally underdeveloped ok I can make up animals if I WANT

T - Teach - what skills of theirs would they teach you? what would you teach them?

I have an aversion to motorsports but you literally cannot get around atmos without a sickass flying motorbike, so I would def be accepting dirk-biking lessons from the guy with the coolest ride around.

As for what I'd teach him... I'm honestly not sure what I have to offer that he would find interesting or useful, but I can offer lots of geology/geography knowledge that would probably be handy for raids and crystal formations? Alternatively how to speak nicely to his siblings

O - Online - what is your f/o’s social media presence like, or what would it be like if they had internet in their world/era?

'Officially' he wouldn't partake, seeing the dumb shit his brothers watch online would drive him insane. Unofficially however, he would totally stalk his enemies facebook posts just to plan an opportune ambush.

N - Nostalgia - what’s your f/o’s favorite memory?

Canonically, probably the day he defeated the Interceptors. That was a serious victory that shook the Sky Knights and their teams across Atmos, and he relished in the leverage it gave him.

Sir Pentious:

S - Story - if you and them were in a fairytale, which story would you be and who would play which character?

Oh a reverse fairytale for sure, a runaway noble of some descript get's kidnapped by maniacal (artificer I guess in this case?) for ransom, only to find they're both terrible and have much more fun encouraging his shenanigans.

I - Image - show us a picture of them that gives you a lot of feelings. if they aren’t a visual character, describe your mental image of them!

Oh see GIF above, this man is SO happy to be gatecrashing even when his shit is already wrecked, my mans THEATRICAL and loves his job.

R - Rainbow - what colors do you associate with them and why?

Black, Yellow and Fusia. Pretty self explanatory - the high contrast is gorgeous and luxurious in his design and yet attention seeking like a particularly villainous traffic cone.

P - Pets - do they have a pet? if so, what kind and what is/would be its name? would you have a pet together?

Do the Eggs Count Idk if you can have snake pets in hell but he is absolutely the type to have boa contractors and cobras draped all over his ship. I'm more than happy with this.

E - Emotion - is your f/o open with their feelings or do they keep them close to their chest?

Sweetheart this mans emotions are broadcast to the fucking moon. Everyone in hell knows how he's feeling at any given moment and he hates it, but he doesn't have the restraint to keep a lid on them when things don't go his way.

N - Nostalgia - what’s your f/o’s favorite memory?

Extrapolating from the crumbs of the single pilot we have, probably the birth of his son. He seems the type to have Gomez Addam'sed the shit out of his family, and I don't doubt he cried more than the mother and baby combined.

T - Teach - what skills of theirs would they teach you? what would you teach them?

I'm signing up for lessons in firing lazer beams and rockets and you cannot stop me. I would probably teach him what modern slang and style suits him becuase the secondhand embarrasment I recieve watching this 19th century supervillain attempt to integrate into modern culture is nigh lethal.

I - Image - see above.

O - Online - what is your f/o’s social media presence like, or what would it be like if they had internet in their world/era?

It's cringeworthy and mortifying for want of better words. I wish he would stop chasing the overlords accounts and getting into screaming matches in the comment sections. At least the latter results in him blowing up someones house occasionally, but it hurts to see him ruin his own reputation which he cherishes so much. Less of more here, really.

U - Uplift - how do they help you when you’re stressed or sad and vice versa?

When I'm sad it's cuddle time. He's fantastic at it, and his scales are much softer than they look. It's weird to feel his eyes blinking, but the pressure and attention feel wonderful after a bad day.

When he's sad or frustrated - I'll admit that I'm not the best at feelings things and would much rather offer practical solutions, he appreciates a second pair of eyes and opinions on his projects. I can compliment his engineering no end and belittle the bastards that made him feel workthless forever, so if I bitch whle we work it's a win-win.

S - Story - see above.

Thanks so much for asking!

Discord Tip Game Requests - Repton

Another request from @grimm-the-6th, this time of the leader of the raptors! Aka another fun one.

Oof. When this guy ‘eats out’ he usually means he and his crew are going out to find someone to eat. But for the sake of the game, let’s say he does go to a restaurant.

Repton’s that one customer with the rancid vibes who no one really wants to take an order from bc of how impatient he is with people. Don’t bother him too much for more drinks, he’ll call for you, yadayadayada. Orders a rare steak or whatever other dish has the most meat, and a Bloody Mary cocktail. When it comes to tipping, he doesn’t bother unless he sees a mandatory discretionary charge in the receipt and he’ll complain if it’s anything more than 10%. If you ask him for a tip yourself, you’ll get bitten. Don’t risk it.

2/10, he sucks but he’s at least a better customer than Cyclonis and Ravess

Squadron log:

Starling asked us to help her, and I quote "rescue some lizards."

This trip is about to get interesting.

[terrablizzarisislove]

if Suzy Lu got her own spin off Suzy Lu's arch enemy would be Repton and Suzy Lu would be the Ugly Heroine and Repton would be the Good-Looking Villain

Did the Absolute Zeroes interact/fight the Raptors??? I legitimately don't remember...

St Guthlac’s Day

Saint Tormented By Demons. Source: Deor Reader website

Today is St Guthlac’s Day. Guthlac was as austere as they come which made him one of the most popular saints in pre-Conquest England, only really eclipsed by St Cuthbert. His toughness is perhaps explained by the fact Guthlac began life as a soldier before converting to the life of a monk. He joined the monastery at Repton but his aversion to sex and alcohol made him an outsider amongst the allegedly holy community in these days of pre-Benedictine monastic reform, so he left Repton for the bleakness of the Lincolnshire fens where he became a hermit, residing in Crowland, in those days only accessible by boat. Living a solitary ascetic existence, Guthlac’s only companions were a troop of demons who regularly tormented him, insulting the Saxon hermit in Welsh and generally making his life a misery. Guthlac was comforted by visits of angels and by his patron, St Bartholomew. It was the long-dead Bartholomew who equipped Guthlac with a whip with which to drive away the demons, and the whip then became the saint’s symbol.

It is said in Fishtoft in Lincolnshire that so long as Guthlac continues wield his scourge, the village will forever be free of rats and mice.

hello fellow storm hawks community

[paulbraterman]

Is there something fishy about radiocarbon dating?

A map of the route taken by the Viking Great Heathen Army. Hel-hama, own work, via Wikipedia The Vikings started out as raiders, but then, in the way of these things, ended up as rulers, and their influence stretched from Greenland to what is now Russia. They first enter English history in 793, with the sacking of the Monastery of Lindisfarne. By the late 9th century, they were colonising…
